1. Other.
Only on some issues, not on many others.

2. Why so many more votes in the "progressive" poll?
Smells like fear.

4. No, she's not a liberal. She's a conservative leaning Democrat.

6. Hell no. But I am, and that's why I was never thrilled about her candidacy.

11. On some issues.
We don't have a real liberal left in the running in the total sense of the word.

13. The way I think of the terms, I'd be more likely to call Clinton a liberal
than a progressive.

"Liberal" tends to describe more social policy, in my opinion, and she is arguably, at least, liberal in that regard.


But progressive? A progressive corporatist? I don't think so.

14. Why don't you ask if Obama is a liberal or progressive
If the numbers reverse, you'll have your answer as to how people are voting.
